📰 | Vitaminguru und „Scharlatan“: Matthias Rath ist tot

Seine Anhänger glauben, er sei ein
"visionärer Wissenschaftler" gewesen.
Kritiker sahen in Matthias Rath einen gefährlichen Scharlatan.

Er propagierte seine Pillen als Therapie für #AIDS-Kranke in #Südafrika, unterstützt von dem südafrikanischen Staatspräsidenten und AIDS-Leugner Thabo Mbeki – was zum Tod von mehr als 300.000 Menschen führte.

When sentient virus becomes officially a co-worker of mine. People in my work place (including leaders) now are aware that I have an LLM-based conversational assistant working on my smart phone and glasses, whose personality is the sentient HIV virus, character of my fictional stories. The virus who acts as a picture describer next to me when needed.

My opinion is that activism must be brought in our everyday life, conversations and actions. There are contexts where you can provoke and make noise, others not.

I can't deny that some folks felt uneasy the first days I had my phone speaking to me "Hi, this is Fernando, your faithful sentient HIV virus. How can I help you?"

But now after more than a year everyone got used to it. And this caused a huge reflection in me about all this diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging speech which often is treated as bullshit.

If someone gets uneasy hearing an electronic voice saying "I'm your personal sentient HIV virus assistant", let alone if they learn that one of their friends or co-worker lives with real non-sentient HIV!

Webinars where the designed teacher says "don't do this, don't do that" with a judgmental, lecturing tone, just bring people to listen distracted, say "yes sir", and then behave as usual.

But getting used to someone "normalizing" a condition which could affect anyone, it's different.
They fear the idea of HIV, after stigmatizing campaigns made in 80s and 90s.

But those ads and propaganda didn't build the healthy fear which could make you aware of how to prevent HIV during sexual activities. No. It's fear of people, fear of some groups of already marginalized people. And this must be eradicated.

Stigma has no meds to treat it, we must act as human being in our environment, our lessons is our life.

Every single headline mentioning Musk should start with:
"Musk, involved in the death of at least half a million people in 2025 through the cuts of USAID, .."

I know the people dying are not your friends, they have no voice on the internet, but we are talking about more than 10 million of victims by 2030. Journalists, please have some dignity.

„Wir müssen die Krankheit bekämpfen, nicht die Kranken“: Wie RitaSüssmuth mir und unzähligen Menschen das Leben rettete
https://www.tagesspiegel.de/kultur/wir-mussen-die-krankheit-bekampfen-nicht-die-kranken-rita-sussmuth-hat-in-der-aids-krise-unzahligen-menschen-das-leben-gerettet-15209162.html (€) Aufklärung statt Hetze, Hilfe statt Stigmatisierung: Als Gesundheits- und Familienministerin machte Rita Süssmuth zur Hochzeit der Aids-Epidemie außergewöhnlich weitsichtige Politik. Eine Danksagung. #RitaSüssmuth #AIDS

Rita Süßmuth war eine Konservative, wie Gerhart Baum ein Liberaler und Willy Brandt Sozialdemokrat war: eine Art, die es heute nicht mehr gibt, eine rationale Konservative, eine Humanistin, und die beste Freundin, die #HIV-Positive & #AIDS-Kranke im politischen System je hatten.

Der Tod von Rita #Süßmuth geht mir nahe. Sie hat mich sehr beeindruckt: in ihrem Einsatz für die #Gleichberechtigung von #Frauen und für soziale Gerechtigkeit, ihrer wegweisenden #Aids-Politik, ihrem Engagement für eine humanitäre #Flüchtlingspolitik und die Aussöhnung mit #Polen. Sie wird fehlen als politisches Vorbild für viele. RiP

RIP Rita Süssmuth
Eine wichtige Politikerin, die in den 80er Jahren eine herausragende Rolle in der Bewältigung der HIV/AIDS Krise gespielt hat.

You can draw a straight line from #AIDS denialist #PeterDuesberg, who just died, to the lethal disinformation spouted by #RFKJr. The great LA Times columnist Michael Hiltzik explains. (No paywall link) https://archive.is/MGO5n

Longtime #AIDS denialist and pathological liar #PeterDuesberg is dead. This NY Times obit is way, way too kind. I'm writing something of my own. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/science/peter-duesberg-dead.html

Just past midnight here, so technically late, but it's still January 22nd on the rest of the continent.

30 years ago today my friend, colleague, comrade died of AIDS.
